WOOD’S, THE WORLD’S LEADING
DEHUMIDIFIERS
Wood’s dehumidifier products have been
known as market leaders for many years. Our
dehumidifiers are suitable for use in the most
demanding climates, where dehumidifying
capacity is good even at lower temperatures
and humidity levels. They are used with good
results in premises that become damp such as
basements, garages or summer houses. They
also work great when drying washing without
wear on textiles, in pool areas and in laundry
rooms. They are efficient and have low
energy consumption They are also excellent for
drying laundry, attics, pool rooms and. Being
efficient and low in energy consumption.
The amount of moisture that the dehumidifier
removes depends on temperature, humidity
level and placement. The weather outdoors
also affects dehumidifier performance. In
cold weather the relative humidity indoors
drops, thus reducing the dehumidifier’s
moisture absorption from the air. Therefore,
the dehumidifier is adapted for use in the
temperature range + 2˚C to + 35˚C. Wood´s
dehumidifiers are safe and designed to operate
continuously for many years.
EXCESSIVE AIR HUMIDITY A
DANGER
Condensation occurs when the water vapor in
the air comes into contact with a cold surface
such as a ceiling, window or wall. When the
water vapor cools down condensation takes
place whereby water droplets form. At high
humidity, stale air can occur and mold is formed
which damages the house and its interior. This
environment can also lead to illnesses of the
inhabitants when, among other things, mites
thrive in a humid environment. A dehumidifier
with high performance creates a good and
healthy moisture level. To achieve the best
effect, doors and windows of the spaces to
be dehumidified should be kept closed. The
dehumidifier removes bad odor, dries wood
and removes moisture from sports equipment
for outdoor use etc. A dehumidifier can be
used in basements, laundry rooms, garages,
caravans, summer cottages and in boats. If
the dehumidifier is used colder environments,
take a closer look at the hints in the end of the
instructions for use.
NOTE!
When placed in a shower or bathing area,
the dehumidifier should be fixed in place.
It is mandatory to check and follow the
local bathroom electrical regulations
before use.
USE WOOD’S DEHUMIDIFIERS
If the dehumidifier is transported horizontally,
leave it standing upright for 4 hours before use.
It is very important for the oil to flow back into
the compressor, as the dehumidifier otherwise
may take serious damage. Wood’s dehumidifiers
are easy to move around when they are
equipped with wheels. All that is required is the
proximity to an electrical outlet for 220-240 V,
but keep in mind the following:
The dehumidifier should not be placed near
radiators or other heat sources and not exposed
to direct sunlight as it lowers performance.
• You can use a radiator or heating fan to keep
the temperature above + 2˚C.
• The dehumidifier should be placed at least 25
cm away from walls and other obstruction to
ensure maximum air flow.
• It is ideal to place the dehumidifier as centrally
in the room/area as possible.
1. Check that the water tank is correct
positioned.
2. Connect the dehumidifier to a grounded
electrical outlet.
3. Choose the desired humidity program or
humidity level using the control panel.
Refer the section on function description.
NOTE!
When the dehumidifier switches off, it
takes 5minutes before it restarts.
FLOAT
The float consists of a white plastic cylinder
suspended by two wires hanging in two arms.
The float is buoyant and when the water level
rises, the float is lifted up. When the float has
reached a certain height, the dehumidifier
detects this and turns off automatically to
prevent flooding. When the water tank is
emptied it should be put back in position the
following way:
EMPTYING WATER CONTAINERS
1. When the water tank is full, pull it gently
outwards and empty it into the drain.
2. Push the water container back in until it
touches the float.
3. Lift the bottom edge of the water tank to
incline the water tank slightly.
4. Push the water tank in last distance. The
float should now have ended up in the
water tank, instead of being clamped
behind it.
NOTE!
It is important that the float hangs freely,
because its purpose is to detect the water
level in the tank and ensure that the
dehumidifier switches off when the level
is high. An incorrectly positioned float can
cause the water tank to overflow.
DRAIN THE WATER TO THE SEWER
1. Disconnect the dehumidifier from the
electrical outlet and remove the water
tank to access the threaded connection
underneath the drip tray.
2. Attach the hose coupling to the threaded
connector and lead the hose to the drain.
Ensure that the hose postioned lower than
the the drip tray.
3. Insert the dehumidifier plug into the
socket.
4. Without hose and directly over the drain:
5. Place the dehumidifier directly over the
drain so that the condensed water can
drip through the hole in the bottom of the
dehumidifier and into the drain.
AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN
When the water tank is full, the dehumidifier
shuts off automatically, signaling thatthe
water tank must be emptied before you can
use the dehumidifier again. Refer the function
description.
1. Disconnect the dehumidifier from the
electrical outlet.
2. Empty the water tank.
3. Replace the emptied water tank and make
sure the float hangs free, refer the Float
section.
4. Connect the dehumidifier to the electrical
outlet. The dehumidifier restarts in the
same mode as when disconnected.
AIR FILTER
The air filter on the back of the dehumidifier
ensures that the cooling coils are kept free of
dust. It is important that the filter is clean so that
the air can flow freelythrough the dehumidifier.
The filter should therefore be replaced when
needed.
The dehumidifier is equipped with an SMF filter
which improves the capacity of the dehumidifier
at the same time as it further purifies the air.
Refer instructions for changing the air filter. We
recommend at least one filter change per year.

AUTOMATIC DEFROST
Wood’s dehumidifiers are equipped with a
control systems ensuring that the cooling coils
are defrosted if necessary. The control system
switches off the compressor, which causes the
cooling of the loops to stop. The fan continues
to draw the room temperature air through the
dehumidifier and thus the ice melts and the
water flows down into the water tank. Note that
this control system allows the dehumidifier to
operate at temperature as low as + 2˚C”
FAN
The fan ensures that air flows through the
dehumidifier. Moist air is sucked in from
the back and through the evaporator and
condenser and released dry on the top of the
dehumidifier.
